Psalm 131:1-2 (TEV) 1 LORD, I have given up my pride and turned away from my arrogance. I am not concerned with great matters or with subjects too difficult for me. 2 Instead, I am content and at peace. As a child lies quietly in its mother's arms, so my heart is quiet within me.
Psalm 107:28-31 (TEV) 28 Then in their trouble they called to the LORD, and he saved them from their distress. 29 He calmed the raging storm, and the waves became quiet. 30 They were glad because of the calm, and he brought them safe to the port they wanted. 31 They must thank the LORD for his constant love, for the wonderful things he did for them.
Isaiah 30:15 (TEV) The Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says to the people, "Come back and quietly trust in me. Then you will be strong and secure."
All the troubles of life come upon us because we refuse to sit quietly for a while each day in our room.
Blaise Pascal (1623-1662)
